While most networks were in full holiday rerun mode or airing holiday special, CBS' new episodes of
"Hawaii Five-0" and
"Blue Bloods," along with the special colorized version of the
"I Love Lucy" Christmas special helped the network take Friday night. "Lucy" showed particular strength, up about a million eyeballs from the usual 8 p.m. timeslot occupant,
"Undercover Boss," last week.

CBS pulled in an average of 9.4 million viewers and a 5.9 rating /10 household share to win the night. NBC eked out second place with 5.4 million and a 3.4/6, while ABC was right behind with 5.3 million and a 3.5/6. FOX came in fourth with 2.6 million and a 1.6/3, while The CW came in last with a mere 808,000 and a 0.5/1.

CBS may have won the night in total viewers, but it tied ABC in the adults 18-49 demo with a 1.2. NBC came in third with a 1.1, while FOX scraped by with a 0.7 and The CW eked out a 0.3
